Why is Monty a good coach?

There seems to be a very divise pro and anti Monty faction developing
I don't think he's that bad, I just think he's below average, pretty decent defensive coach, and pretty bad offensive one
He doesn't seem to draw up good plays in crunch time situations, and often his rotations make very little sense
So that's my beef. Pro-Monty guys, why exactly is Monty considered such a good coach in the NBA?
And provide evidence/examples of why he is such a good coach

I haven't seen many people call him a good coach recently
The Monty haters just go nuts when we say that he shouldn't be fired. He'll have a better chance to prove himself next year. If this continues next year, he's likely done

Should we start tanking but get excited for player development.

I'll bite.
I disagree about offense. He has done nice work getting Anderson open looks this season. And he is putting Davis in spots to succeed. The team is middle of the pack on offense, which is impressive considering the talent.
Completely agree on end of game situations, its a goddamn grease fire. Some of that is personnel (how many looks did Lopez blow tonight/how hard is it for Vasquez to turn the corner/just a lack of creators), but much of it is unimaginative play calling when defenses will be locked in.
His rotations arent quite Byron-esque, but they arent too far behind.
Two big positives for him: he's gotten his teams to play hard and he's at least been around for the development of younger guys.
He's been squeezing most of what he can get from this roster.
That said, tonight's loss was not pretty. Injuries limited his options, but it was a woeful coaching performance down the stretch.

First of all, it's great to see the board in full meltdown mode. Every thread on the first page is new 
I've said before I think Monty needs to find his Tex Winter if he's going to stay long term. I've never said Monty is blameless in the losses, just that now is not the time to bring out the torches and pitch forks. The only thing to care about this season are things that affect future seasons. Even if you felt you had definitive proof that Monty never will be what this team needs, now is not the time to do anything about it. This team won't be able to land the top coaching candidates until the roster is ready to make the playoffs.
I'm much more concerned about Demps proving he belongs than Monty. As AD grows Monty will be easy to move on from if that's necessary. If Demps screws things up that will be much harder to recover from. This will be the first time Demps gets to make big decisions, both with cap space and with having to actually pick the 1 player out of 4 similar ones that will boom rather than bust or just be adequate.

Most coaching experts will tell you that the sign of a well coached team is the ability to finish/close out games. When you have a 17 point lead at home against a .500 ball club with 8 min left in the game and lose then you have a problem. If it happens regularly/frequently then have a personnel problem or a coaching problem. Either way you better have a GM who can fix the problem.

I wouldn't just blame these things on having a young team.
